A features-and-polish release: branch any conversation into a new session, reference project files with @, and a calmer, theme-aware UI.

Highlights

  • Fork from any AI reply — hover an assistant message and hit the fork icon to branch the session at that exact point into a new tab. The original conversation stays untouched in your history, so you can explore a different direction and come back anytime. The same hover row also has a one-click copy for the reply text
  • @ file references — type @ in the composer to fuzzy-search project files, drill into directories, and pin picks as light-blue chips above the input. Long paths truncate from the front so the file name stays visible; Backspace on an empty input restores the chip to editable full-path text. References are kept per draft and travel with the message
  • Slash commands, trimmed — the panel now only lists what actually works on desktop: /compact (now with an optional [focus] to steer the summary), /name, /export, /settings. Templates, skills, and extension commands still run natively
  • Theme-aware shadows — all elevation shadows are now semantic tokens: dark projections in light mode, a soft white glow in dark mode, so floating elements (menus, tooltips, dialogs, the composer) stay visible in both themes. Tooltips also got a cleaner borderless solid-card look
  • Chat polish — the Working shimmer sweep is visible again in dark mode; the live preview row no longer makes the conversation bounce while tools start and stop; streaming tool calls show clean summaries as they type (Bash ls -la instead of raw JSON)

Download

Platform File
macOS (Apple Silicon) pi-desktop-mac-arm64.dmg
macOS (Intel) pi-desktop-mac-x64.dmg
Windows pi-desktop-windows-x64.exe (installer) or pi-desktop-windows-x64.zip

Builds are currently unsigned. On macOS, the first launch may show "Pi Desktop is damaged and can't be opened" — that's Gatekeeper blocking an unsigned download, not actual damage. Fix it by removing the quarantine flag: xattr -cr "/Applications/Pi Desktop.app", then open normally. On Windows, click "More info" → "Run anyway" when SmartScreen appears.
